History of Medicine

Using a course development grant from the Department of History, Professor Adam Warren has crafted a new undergraduate course that is of value not only to students of the past, but also to those training to shape the future of global health. Part of the University of Washington’s new Minor in Global Health, this course considers how a historical approach may help experts address complex political and ethical concerns within the global health movement.

The course has proven so popular, with both history and science majors, that Professor Warren plans to teach it again in Autumn 2014.
